Book description
As hand surgery consists largely of applied anatomy, collaboration
between anatomists and clinicians is essential to developing an anatomic
understanding of the hand for clinical use. This outstanding new guide,
co-written by an anatomist and a hand surgeon, provides the most
up-to-date knowledge of normal anatomy, anatomic variants, and
biomechanics. Anatomy is a highly visual discipline; therefore,
exquisite, high-quality drawings are used to emphasize key features.
Surgical Anatomy of the Hand covers everything from lymph vessels,
carpal bones, and wrist joints to vascular structures, muscles, and
tendons. This is the book that bridges the gap between introductory
texts and highly specialized anatomic references on this complex
subject. It is indispensable for all professionals who need to keep up
with new surgical techniques as well as nonsurgical treatment of
injured, diseased, or congenitally deformed hands. Here is the complete
reference that hand surgeons, orthopaedists, plastic surgeons,
anatomists, and residents need to expand their knowledge of the hand,
upgrade their surgical technique, and optimize patient care. Order this
